Chicago is the exception here, though. It's the core hub of the entire system, and there are no trains that pass through Chicago. A Chicago train will nearly always leave on-time, unless there are equipment issues.

Similarly in the eastern corridor or at least all the major cities between Boston and Richmond, VA.

Air travel has become such a nightmare that I'd rather take a 7 hour train ride than a 1-2 hour flight.
